The Los Angeles Times replaced its headline with three big exclamation points;
Another magical and epic legend has begun. Marvel Studios is getting better and better. The momentum of its rise is unstoppable and it will surely become a pivotal role in Hollywood.
This is a legend in which Chinese filmmakers and their Western counterparts are in perfect harmony. The magnificent picture scrolls of the Western magical epic blockbusters are narrated in the delicate film language of the East. The wonderful fight designs derived from Hong Kong Kung Fu movies are brought to this epic
Blockbusters have more charm.
This time it reminds me of a beautiful mixed-race child, who always attracts attention...

In a beautiful Gothic manor
"Wow, how the hell is this crooked?"
Wang Yaocheng shook his head with a wry smile, put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Si Wanru who was having breakfast quietly, smiled gently, stretched out his hand and patted her fair arm gently; "Wanru, it's great that you are here from China, it feels like
It has an extra warmth of home.”
Si Wanru sighed softly and pushed his palm away; "You have never lacked these, but saying this makes me feel uncomfortable."
"It's different. Maybe I'm too domineering, maybe I'm too greedy. I always want to take possession of all the beautiful things in this world. Whether it's wealth, power or women, I have to firmly control and possess them.
My desire is too strong and I will hurt you accidentally."
Wang Yaocheng deeply tortured and reflected on his soul, and held Si Wanru's fair little hand with a sincere expression;
"I am like a sinner tempted by the devil, going further and further down the road of desire. I want to build a boundless business empire, have countless wealth, want beautiful women to be with me at all times, and possessiveness.
A strong mind never ends.
It feels like Genghis Khan who has been fighting all his life, always conquering and endlessly expanding his business territory.
But you are different. You are my deeply beloved wife and occupy the most important position deep in my heart.
Thank you for giving me two precious sons. You have been with me silently all the way without any regrets. You are the warmest home in my heart. I am deeply attached to and in love with you, my dear Wanru..."
After a while
Everything will naturally turn fine after the rain!
How could Si Wanru, who had a gentle and kind personality, be able to withstand Wang Yaocheng's sincere confession? She walked out with a blush on her face, arranged her expensive dress, and gave Wang Yaocheng two big white eyes.
"The inauguration ceremony of Commander-in-Chief George is about to begin. Are you still lingering here? Do you want to be late?"
Wang Yaocheng loosened his hand after hearing this. Today is the day when George takes office as the Commander-in-Chief in the White House. A grand protocol ceremony will be held. The new Commander-in-Chief will place his hand on the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence and swear an oath;
God bless America.
After the inauguration ceremony, there will be a live performance by pop rock superstar MJ, showcasing his heavenly singing voice.
As a loyal supporter of the Xiang Party, Wang Yaocheng had the opportunity to speak on behalf of the people of the world and say a few words.
The world police must have the coffee of the world police. For such a grand and formal occasion, Wang Yaocheng's influence and representativeness are sufficient.
As for whether the people of the world being represented are willing?
Then it's not under consideration. If you don't object, I'll treat it as if you are willing.
"We'd better hurry up. This is a thank you letter from the relevant domestic departments." Si Wanru handed over a thick diplomatic letter.
"Oh, is there such a good thing?"
Wang Yaocheng took it over in surprise, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but laugh.
This is a letter of thanks sent by the United Front Department through the diplomatic system. Thank you to Wang Yaocheng, as a Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese, for his efforts in facilitating the filming of "Lord of the Rings" in China, promoting the great country of the motherland, and setting off a wave of tourism to China due to the movie viewing craze.
, follow in the footsteps of the crew to find hidden sights.
The global impact brought by a movie is positive and positive. It is different from the ignorant and backward propaganda of China in the Western world, which is refreshing.
The words are full of enthusiasm, and I look forward to Mr. Wang Yaocheng often returning to his hometown for a walk and making new contributions to promoting the magnificent scenery of China.
Indeed, Wang Yaocheng made the decision himself.
This was originally an honor from far away New Zealand. It contained the selfishness of director Peter Jackson and was a private good. It vividly displayed the beautiful scenery of New Zealand in front of the world's audience.
Now, this glory belongs to China.
There are so many magnificent scenery in the land of China. The crew of "Lord of the Rings" shot scenes in Sichuan Province, Guangxi, Haijiao Province and Yutai County in Suzhou Province. The magnificent scenery displayed on the big screen is even better than before.
With the movie-watching craze in Europe, America and Japan, eager fans bought plane tickets and embarked on a journey to explore the magical world.
This is just the first wave. As the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies are released around the world, more European and American audiences will surely embark on a journey of adventure.
Thinking of this, Wang Yaocheng walked out of the living room to the porch while buttoning his shirt cufflinks, and handed over to his personal assistant;
"Remember, with the screening of the "Lord of the Rings" movie, remember to arrange for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel to organize the "Fantasy Lord of the Rings Journey" event and build several additional permanent landscapes in Yutai County, such as the Dwarf Castle and the Dragon's Lair.
Sauron's Evil City, Hobbit Village, etc., as well as related attractions in Sichuan Province, let them carefully plan it combined with a food tour."
"I've written it all down."
"good."
At this time
Si Wanru walked out radiantly and saw that Wang Yaocheng was not wearing a suit. He had one hand on his waist and the other hand waving vigorously to explain the matter. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled; "Master, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? How can we
Have you set off?
"Oh, it's only 8:35 now. The official inauguration ceremony of the White House won't start until 9:30. We only need more than 20 minutes on the road, so we can make it in time." Wang Yaocheng looked at the diamond watch in his hand and defended himself.
"Boss, you have to leave at least half an hour for security check. It's not just us attending the presidential inauguration ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, there are also some random people from all over the country."
In the driveway outside the porch, Harrison lowered the car window, looked out his bald head and complained dissatisfiedly, and tapped the watch on his left wrist with his finger.
This guy means hurry up and don’t waste time!
He always says inappropriate things at inappropriate times, and this will never change.
Wang Yaocheng
You are the mess, your whole family is a mess.
White House South Lawn
Celebrities from all over the world and the United States gather here, and you can see many world-famous figures, celebrities and entertainment superstars.
The reporters who had obtained the White House's interview permission gathered in a small area in the northwest corner, carrying various photographic and audio equipment, and were surrounded by a thin isolation belt.
Ha ha……
This feeling is a bit like drawing a wall to fortify oneself, not daring to take a step further.
Surrounded by several Secret Service bodyguards in suits and cool-looking sunglasses, they stared at them warily.
Reporters who violate rules may have their White House press credentials revoked.
"Oh, welcome, our friend, is this your female companion?"
Luo Xi greeted Wang Yaocheng with a spring breeze on her face. She looked up and down at Si Wanru, who was dressed in a dress. Seeing that she was as noble and graceful as an oriental goddess, she couldn't help but admired, "You are so beautiful, madam."
Wang Yaocheng stingily stood in front of his eyes and reached out to pat Roxy on the shoulder.
"That's right, man, my wife Si Wanru, this is the White House butler Roxy. We must pay attention to our interactions with him, especially not involving money, but we can cooperate more in charity. I understand that right.
Bar?"
"Exactly."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled in a tacit understanding, very much like they were having sex.
In fact, the private transactions are quite involved, so there is no need to say more.
The view that Wang Yaocheng has always believed in is;
Friendship does not stay fresh, but benefits last forever.
"Wow, Miss Nicole Kidman, you look so radiant today. Why didn't I see Tom Cruise? Is it true that there are rumors that you two are going to divorce? Oh...oh...I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Mr. Turner, I know that your news network has been slandering me. Can't you take good care of your people?"
"Look who I saw. Isn't this David Geffen? I know you are a die-hard loyalist of the Donkey Party. Why did you appear at the inauguration ceremony of the leader of the Elephant Party? Is this world too wonderful, or is it my eyesight?
?”
"Hi, Michael Jackson, you look great today. I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance."
Before the ceremony even started, Wang Yaocheng walked on the lawn with a relaxed expression, holding a champagne glass, and greeted everyone who passed by.
"Thank you! Boss King, you are a legend in Silicon Valley and my idol."
"Haha, we don't need to praise each other anymore, okay?" Wang Yaocheng smiled and said hello to Michael Jackson; "I'll take some photos later. My wife Si Wanru is an avid rock fan, remember to give her an autograph."
On such an important occasion, no photography equipment, including reporters', can be brought in, let alone personal cameras. We can only wait until after the ceremony is over and have a special time to take pictures.
"It's my honor. This time my performance team has brought a private collection of platinum tracks. I will personally write words of blessing and give it to my wife."
"Give me a few more." Wang Yaocheng pulled Michael Jackson over and whispered softly, "Uh... you know, mine... has more of them and requires a larger amount."
Michael Jackson asked at a loss; "Oh, I know, uh... but there are not many private collections of this kind. I only brought 15 sets, giving you five sets... Oh, are ten sets enough?"
